Numerical solution of problems for a space-fractional diffusion equation

Nowadays, non-local applied mathematical models based on the use of fractional derivatives in time and space
are actively discussed. Many models involve both sub-diffusion (fractional in time) and supper-diffusion (fractional in space) operators. Supper-diffusion problems are treated as evolutionary problems with a fractional power of an elliptic operator.

We have proposed [1] a computational algorithm for solving an equation for fractional powers of elliptic operators on the basis of a transition to a pseudo-parabolic equation. For the auxiliary Cauchy problem, the standard two-level schemes are applied. The computational algorithm is simple for practical use, robust, and applicable to solving a wide class of problems. This computational algorithm for solving equations with fractional powers of operators is promising when considering transient problems.
